Any clutch that has a torque capacity of at least 250-275 ft-lbs should be fine for the street.

An upgraded radiator isn't strictly necessary unless you're tracking, and technically an oil cooler isn't either. I was using an oil-to-air oil cooler for a while, but my oil never got up to operating temperature while driving on the street, which is obviously not ideal (good read: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=114293). If anything, an oil-to-water (i.e. OEM style coolant-based) oil cooler would be sufficient. If you are going to be taking the car to the track, definitely get both an upgraded radiator and an oil-to-air oil cooler.

You should also think about upgrading injectors only if you're going to be using ethanol. The OEM pump does not actually need to be upgraded either way, regardless of what many people will likely say (source: I was pushing almost 400whp on ethanol with the OEM fuel pump for a long time.)
Thanks for sharing your experience. I am debating getting injectors fuel pump for this kit but I do notice most people on this forum are tracking, I'm just street driving/ DD... and to be fair I have seen MORE successful builds on forums with stock internals and turbo than UNSUCCESSFUL builds with stock internals

Any good recommendations on clutch and catch can?
